"I don't know if they are ready yet. No, it was not Mr. President.' No, he has no one to tell him that".

Democrats believe they will make significant gains in the midterms, and any gains could make it more hard for Trump to secure money for the construction of the wall.

"If we don't get border security".

"This is a wall of shame, and we don't want any part of it", Ting said in a statement when he introduced the bill.

Trump's "zero tolerance" policy of prosecuting migrants entering the USA without authorization, his separation of more than 2,500 children from their parents, and botched efforts to reunite many of them has drawn election-year criticism from both parties.

Republican Congressional leaders over the weekend tried to tamp down Trump's threats of shutting down the government if Democrats refuse to vote for his immigration proposals, including funding the border wall.

'Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT!'

His Sunday and Monday comments came just days after he had met at the White House with Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to discuss the government funding strategy.

It didnt take long for Trump to provide his answer. He did acknowledge, however, that the border funding issue was unlikely to be resolved before the November midterm elections.

Trump began his policy of "zero tolerance" this spring, prosecuting all migrants caught entering the USA without authorization.

Two leading Democrats - Reps.

The president also insists that all immigration should be based on applicants demonstrating they represent valuable assets to the country, rather than be based on the diversity visa-lottery program and family ties.

A shutdown would be the third such political embarrassment since Republicans took control of the White House, House and Senate.

In May, Trumpsuggested "closing up the country for a while" if he did not get his wall. They also said they can document decisions by hundreds of detained parents to willingly leave the US without their children, an assertion that has drawn skepticism from lawmakers.

"I'll always leave room for negotiation", he said. He added that Trump's threats would not help lawmakers craft the necessary spending bills by a September 30 deadline "because we're trying to work together in a bipartisan way".

Mr Trump briefly threatened to veto that spending bill before ultimately signing it, though he said he would never approve such a budget again.

Pressed as to whether he has a red line, Trump said no. The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives will play defense for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the DOJ, and the Mueller probe, launch impeachment proceedings against Trump, harass ICE with subpoenas and hearings to defend illegal immigrants, and turn up the anti-Trump #resistance to 11 because they'll believe that's what put them in power. "We have the worst immigration laws anywhere in the world".

With President Donald Trump already under fire for taking thousands of migrant children from their detained parents - and botching the reunification of many - the request for the investigation elevated yet another issue to the administration's list of immigration headaches.
